Hi again!
Since you guys think its a bad idea to practice IFR without having taken any lessons and since I am 25 PIC cross country and 32 simulated IFR hours away from being eligible to apply for an instrument rating, I was thinking of taking lessons and at the same time building my X-C time and hood time with a safety pilot.
I have a few questions:
1) how many dual hours do you guys ESTIMATE I will need (I am guessing that the required 15 won't be enough)? I am a very proficient private pilot with 85 hours TT and I have already studied very thoroughly for the IR knowledge test (taking it next week).
2) I plan on doing my training in an instrument certified Cessna 150 that cruises at 75-80 TAS, what are your thoughts on that?
Thanks!
